Responsibility for mail server, impact on Subversion
Hi all, A number of people have suggested that it would be irresponsible to do the Subversion migration while our mail infrastructure is in the terrible state that it is. I strongly agree... and suggest that we commit to delaying the Subversion migration if the mail infrastructure is not functioning reliably by Monday. As unfortunate as it would be to delay, we can not responsibly expect our users to cope with such a change without fully functioning mail services for support and co-ordination. To back this up, I would like to own the responsibility for getting our mail services back up and running reliably. This problem needs a clear owner, not fresh layers of temporary fixes, trial and error experiments and incomplete analysis. *No* changes should be made without confirmation, unless a serious emergency change is required in which case you should follow up to this mail both on list and directly to my address. This means mail server config on all our machines... and (!!!) firewall configuration related to mail server functions. This will allow Ross (and perhaps others, if he needs them) to focus 100% on preparing for and documenting the Subversion migration, which is *extremely* important to get right, while ensuring that we do not make more mistakes as we attempt to fix the mail server infrastructure.

mailgraph/qshape on menubar
Hey, I've installed mailgraph (and dependencies [1]) on menubar. This simple tool has become a staple of my mail server maintenance arsenal - it's very useful to have a quick visual guide to how your mail server is running. It's pretty interesting already. :-) I've also copied qshape from postfix 2.1.x into menubar:/usr/local/bin. This is another must-have tool for postfix administration, providing vastly more useful information than mailq: per-sender/recipient domain queue statistics.

I think it is an appropriate time to move GGV to the Attic, we haven't shipped it in GNOME for over a year. All feature development is now done in the Evince project. I haven't checked, but I doubt any distros are still shipping GGV. Bug fixing has slowed to almost nothing, and there will likely never be another release... OK, moved to the Attic. It can always be resurrected and migrated later if deemed necessary. -- Ross ___ Gnome-infrastructure mailing list Gnome-infrastructure@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
